Are you Taking Care of Yourself?

So its a simple question. But I would be willing to bet a quarter the answer is no. Why do I know that because I am guilty. Let's see there is work. Then many of you have things after work, the kids extra curricular activities. Then there is homework that needs to get done, dinner needs to be cook and last but not least bathes and time for bed. m I in the neighborhood. Maybe that's not you, but I have friends that work full time jobs, are full time musicians, play a 2 or more churches on Sunday. Have kids and they have a full time ministry in addition to all of the above. The point is that we have become a generation on the go. For some it maybe the 2 jobs you work to make the ends meet. I just want to encourage you today, that you have to make time for yourself or you will find your body shutting down in moments that seem to be inconvenient but there is nothing you can do about. I went to Berklee College of Music was a dual degree students. Needless to say that my two majors were opposites. I was a Music Production major, meant let night studio session, 12am-6am. Then I was a business major, early morning classes. I love what I was doing and was much younger. But every year and I mean every year when I went home for Christmas I was always sick. What's interesting about my life in 2017, is that when I go home, I'm sick. Why you ask because when I go home I actually turn the engine of my life off. Then what happens is my immune system which was running on overdrive finally shut down. Bang. Something you should know on Christmas we have like 30 plus people come over. Can you imagine being sick when your the host house.

So my advice, is to if you are starting to feel run down, guess what its too late you are run down. Its time to institute some time to rest, drink lots of liquids ,slow down the pace of life for a few days. If you dont you will end up shutting down on a busy eek and will not be able to accomplish the things that you need to do because you will be sick. So when ask are you taking care of yourself? Maybe you can at least in the beginning stages say, "Im Trying." And last but not least learn the word, NO. Or I'm not available, even if it means the reason you are busy is to take some time for self. I write my time off in the calendar, so I can easily say I'm not free that day. People dont need to know why. Be Well, Healthy and relaxed. Just my thoughts would love to hear your opinion or our personal story of why you can't find time or what are some techniques you use.
